The Renal Association is the leading professional body for the UK Renal Community, dedicated to improving lives by supporting professionals in the delivery of kidney care and research.

We welcome all team members working or training in clinical renal care, renal research or related fields, and those treating and caring for people with kidney disease. In support of education and training we run the annual UK Kidney Week , the Advanced Nephrology Course and the regional Kidney Quality Improvement meetings.

The Renal Association was the first professional society dedicated to kidney care, the first to produce service specifications and the first to produce guidelines . Through such initiatives as the Kidney Quality Improvement Partnership, Patient View, expanding the scope of the UK Renal Registry and the UK Renal Research Consortium, and in partnership with our patient, professional and corporate partners, we are transforming the way kidney care and research is delivered in the UK and beyond. We can only be successful by working together; your perspective and contribution is valuable .
